  • Patent number: 11894413
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optoelectronic device including the steps of forming a substrate having a support face; forming a first series of first areas adapted to the formation of all or part of light-emitting diodes, forming a second series of second areas on the support face, adapted to the formation of light confinement wall elements capable of forming a light confinement wall, the second areas defining therebetween sub-pixel areas; forming, from the first areas, light-emitting diodes; forming, by the same technique as in the previous step, from the second areas, light confinement wall elements, concomitantly with all or part of the light-emitting diodes which are formed in the previous step.

  • Publication number: 20230343811
    Abstract: A method of forming a dielectric collar for semiconductor wires includes providing a layers stack and a semiconductor wires (SW) layer on top of the stack, forming a base layer at a lower part of the SW and a capping layer at an upper part of the SW, the base layer parallel to the basal plane and including a dielectric material surrounding the lower part of the SW, and the capping layer along a contour of the SW and including a dielectric material surrounding the upper part of the SW, the base and capping layers having thicknesses e1 and e2 with e1>2.e2, performing anisotropic etching along the direction normal to the basal plane to remove the dielectric material at a top part of the SW and leaving the dielectric material at least in the lower part of the SW.

  • Publication number: 20230268460
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optoelectronic device having a substrate and, on a first face of the substrate, at least one stack, in a longitudinal direction, of at least one injection layer of a first type of carriers and an active layer. The method including formation of a growth mask on the first face of the substrate, the growth mask having an opening in the longitudinal direction through which the first face is exposed, formation, from the exposed zone of the substrate, of the injection layer of the first type of carriers within the opening, formation of the active layer on the injection layer, within the opening, such that the active layer is confined in the opening and does not extend outside of the opening. One or more embodiment also relates to an optoelectronic device having an active layer confined in an opening of a growth mask.

  • Publication number: 20220223646
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a substrate and wire-shaped light-emitting diodes the wire shape of which is elongate along a longitudinal axis. Each light-emitting diode has a doped first region including, over all or some of its height measured along the longitudinal axis, of a central first segment that is substantially elongate along the longitudinal axis, this segment being based on gallium nitride, and of an external second segment, this segment being based on aluminium and gallium nitride. The second segment includes an external first portion arranged laterally around the first segment (121), all or some of the first portion having a first average atomic concentration of aluminium, and of a lower second portion arranged at least between the first portion of the second segment and the substrate, the second portion having a second average atomic concentration of aluminium being electrically insulating.
